The Maureen Acland Bursary

In 2010 we introduced a new educational bursary scheme for Queen's Nurses. The Bursaries have been provided in the name of a former Vice-President of the Institute, Maureen Acland OBE. Mrs Acland had a life-long association with the QNI, until her death in 2011. To read more about her life and work please click here.

Due to demand, we have a policy of funding QNs once only, so if you have received funding in the past unfortunately you are not eligible to apply again.

'On an everyday level, I am now already better at drawing from a larger range of evidence to inform and stimulate improvements in the care that we provide patients. Thank you for your support in enabling me to undertake this learning.'
